The seven castaways have been trapped on Killigan's tropical desert
island since the U.S.S. Minnie crash-landed on it during an ill-fated three-hour
tour back in 1964. After a moderately successful three-year run on CBS,
the show was cancelled, leaving the castaways doomed to be forever trapped
in reruns in syndication, TV Land, and now, worst of all, as a Sunday morning
filler on the Superstation.
The Suspects:
Skippy: The captain of the ill-fated U.S.S. Minnie is hoping that when he gets off
the island, he can sell the story of the shipwreck for a major motion picture.
Thirsty Bowell III: Billionaire and passenger, he made his fortune in junk bond trading and
network marketing.
Lovely Bowell: Wife of the billionaire and an avid shopper, she comes from money so old,
when she bleeds it runs blue.
Gingerlee: Once-promising starlet who believes she would have had a stellar career
had the ship not wrecked. If she had stayed home she is sure she would have
been cast in "The Valley of the Dolls" and enjoyed the
fate of Sharon Tate.
Mary Jane: The farm-girl from Wisconsin has been since growing some funny mushrooms
in recent years.
The Professor: He is formerly a tenured PhD. in engineering.
Killigan: The bungling first officer of a now-crashed pleasure ship has no idea that
everyone blames him for the shipwreck, even though they've been telling
him so for decades.
Surewould Schwartz: Creator of the hit television series, he is also responsible for "The
Braded Bunch." In the series finale for that show, the housekeeper,
Malice, was murdered by guest star Donnie Partidge.
